Judge Bunning, in my experience, which is mainly on the civil side, is well-prepared and hard-working. I have found him a pleasant personality and a pleasure to work with.

I know nothing about this judge and I am not even from the Sixth Circuit, but you gotta love a guy who puts this homophobic Kentucky court clerk in custody for contempt. Nothing like a good exercise of Article III power. The should send her to the U.S. Marshal's Transportation Center in Oklahoma. Some diesel therapy might be good for her.

Judge Bunning participates in judicial activism in the area of products liability. He has effectively shut the door for any plaintiff to prove causation in a high speed car crash.

Judge Bunning has a great temperment in handling his cases. At times his former us attorney side slips out. One case with bad facts, and he was very reasonable in his sentence. Very flexible if you have scheduling issues pre-trial, but once trial starts he hates to waste any time. Very hard working. Makes a very good, complete, record when ruling on motions, objections, etc.

Judge Bunning is very hard working judge. He expects the lawyers to work hard as well. He is very respectful in court to both sides. The former prosecutor in him came out at times. But generally he was a pleasure to appear before. He often would make a ruling and then if he found additional support for his position, make a record of it as well.
